Watch: Jets' Aaron Rodgers finds Breece Hall for go-ahead touchdown

After mustering just 12 points during last week's blowout loss to the San Francisco 49ers, the New York Jets starting offense needed to put up a strong showing during Sunday's road matchup against the Tennessee Titans.

While the Titans defense kept New York in check during the first half, holding the team to just seven points, Aaron Rodgers and Co. got off to a hot start in the third quarter.

Trailing 10-7, the Jets marched down the field to kick off the second half, with Rodgers orchestrating a five-play, 70-yard touchdown drive. With 12:12 remaining in the third quarter, the four-time MVP connected with a diving Breece Hall in the end zone for a 26-yard touchdown to give the Jets the lead.

The score marked the second touchdown pass on the afternoon for Rodgers, as he found rookie Braelon Allen for a 12-yard TD in the first quarter.

Hall, a 2022 second-round pick, has a history of making a major impact in the receiving game. Entering Sunday's contest, Hall's 33.9 career receiving yards per game ranked as the third-most among running backs since he entered the league, trailing only San Francisco's Christian McCaffrey and Washington's Austin Ekeler.

With a healthy Rodgers throwing him the ball, Hall could not only set a career-high in receiving yards this season, but he might also lead all running backs in that department.
